2 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-08-01 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.
Ratings

No one has rated this plugin on WordPress.org yet. That is a statement about the ratings page, not about the plugin — plenty of well-kept plugins never collect them.

Visible Stock Threshold lets you control what customers see and can buy:

  • Visible stock cap: If real stock is above the threshold, only the threshold amount is shown/purchasable.
  • Strict Mode: If real stock ≤ threshold, the product is Out of Stock (not purchasable).
  • Multiple levels: Per-product, per-category, role-based, or global default.
  • Custom message: “Only {qty} left in stock” (fully editable).
  • Secure limits: Frontend input is capped and server-side validations prevent bypassing limits.
  • Variation support, i18n-ready, clean code, no templates overridden.

Precedence: Product > Role > Highest Category > Global.

Why this plugin?

Urgency marketing without lying: keep internal buffer stock while honestly limiting visible/purchasable quantity.

Works with

WooCommerce stock-managed products (simple & variations). If stock management is off, plugin stays out of the way.

Does it change real stock?

No. It only changes what’s visible and purchasable to the customer.

How does Strict Mode work?

If real stock ≤ threshold, the product is Out of Stock. If real stock > threshold, visible/purchasable qty = threshold.

Which level wins if multiple thresholds are set?

Product > Role override > Highest category threshold > Global default.

Does it support variations?

Yes—each variation’s stock is treated independently.

Is it compatible with backorders?

If a product allows backorders (and stock management is enabled), the plugin still enforces the visible cap unless another plugin bypasses WC’s checks. Test your backorder flow.
